TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates generally to parquet installation. In particular, it relates to a device and method for tongue and groove parquet installation. This device and method allows easy, safe and qualitatively install tongue and groove parquet made of wood or laminate.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Flooring materials having tongue and groove edges are very popular, durable, and producing high quality floorings. Tongue and groove floorboards generally fit together to form a joint in which a projecting rib on the edge of one board fits into the groove on the edge of another board. This type of interlocking joint aids in aligning the floorboards during assembly and also produces a strong, reliable union between the boards.

Floorboards are generally assembled by gluing the floorboards together at the tongue and groove joints. It is important to press the joints together firmly during gluing so that the seal between floorboards is tight, so as to resist moisture penetration. A tightly sealed joint between adjacent floorboards also improves the appearance of the finished floor in that joints become nearly invisible. Additionally, tightly sealed floorboard joints can increase the useful wear-life of the floor.

As tongue and groove materials are installed, it is therefore necessary to apply substantial force to completely insert the tongue of one piece of tongue and groove material into the groove of the adjacent piece, and to apply that force over substantially the entire length of the pieces.

This force is frequently applied as a series of abrupt impacts, accomplished by hitting or tapping a piece of tongue and groove material with hammer or similar tool. One of the obvious drawbacks of such a method is the damage to the tongue and groove material that can and does frequently occur as it is repeatedly whacked with a hammer. The tongues and/or grooves may be damaged, disturbing the structural integrity of the finished area of installed tongue and groove material and/or the sealed edges desired upon installation. Damage to the exposed surface of the material may also result from repeated impacts during installation, resulting in cosmetic damage to the finished installed surface and/or reduced useful life of the installed surface.

Majority of existing inventions designed for installation of the tongue and groove parquet flooring material may be utilized only for laminated parquet material with particular thickness and only for 1-5 types of tongues. However, modernly construction business employs thousand of different types of tongue and groove parquet material using different tongue and groove conjunctions. It is vary in thickness and tongue and groove configuration. Universal device of this embodiment may be utilized for the different type of the parquet material with any thickness and any type of the tongue and groove conjunction.

Another common drawback of existing installation devices is its short lifetime. Existing inventions for tongue and groove parquet installation made out of plastic or wood. Such material very soon becomes worn out due to multiple applications with the hummer. Current invention made out of metal which makes it almost insensitive to the hitting.

Moreover, another drawback of some of the existing installation devices is that its top part is covering up part of the installing parquet material in the area where parquet material connected with the installation device. Such design precludes tight conjunction between installation device and parquet material, which leads to damage to the parquet material during installation. In current embodiment view on conjunction between parquet and installation device is clear, which eliminate said drawback. Also loose conjunction between installation device and parquet material leads to elevation of the parquet material which complicate installation process.

It is therefore desirable to provide methods and device for installing tongue and groove materials which avoid these drawbacks of current installation device and method.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFFERED EMBODIMENT AND THE BEST MODE

Present invention intended to be utilized for the tongue and groove materials. Tongue and groove material special characteristics are edges in form of “tongues” which are protruding portions of the material extending along one or more edges and “grooves” which are recessed portions of the material extending along one or more edges. When the tongue and groove material is received within a groove of an adjacent piece of the material, thereby engaging the pieces of tongue and groove material.

Installation Method of the Tongue and Groove Parquet Material Utilizing Current Invention

After assembling this device for installation of the tongue and groove parquet material according to the described above assembling process, which consists of two parts: first part painted in red color (with words “BACK” written on one surface of it), used for hitting with the hammer on the side part of the tongue and groove parquet material. And second part painted in green color (with words “FRONT” written on one surface of it), used for hitting with the hammer on the front part of the tongue and groove parquet material. Painting of the parts in different colors necessary for installation process to insure quick recognition by the installer as to which side must be used, so that two wooden parts would not be mixed up by the installer.

1. Forty eight (48) hours prior to parquet installation tongue and groove parquet material must be brought into the room where it will be installed later. This procedure is necessary to insure that the humidity inside tongue and groove parquet material would be the same as humidity of the room in which it is intended to be installed later.

2. The floor of the room must be cleaned thoroughly before installation of the tongue and groove parquet material.

3. Then installer should check the floor or any surface where tongue and groove parquet material will be installed for any humps, inequality, or bumps. For this installer needs take a cord and place it in one corner of the room (place piece or plank of said parquet material underneath the cord on top of the surface intended for installation, so the plank makes a space between the installation surface and the cord). Place some weights on the cord if there is only one installer in order to hold the cord in that place. Then place piece or plank of said parquet material underneath the cord on top of the surface intended for installation in another corner of the room, so the plank makes a space between the installation surface and the cord and both ends of the cord are on the same level from the surface. Then slowly moving along the side of the wall stretching the cord from said corner of the room toward the opposite corner. Then looking underneath the cord for the existence of the bumps, inequality, or humps. In the case where there any of them present installer must remove the bumps and humps and in the case of any holes to concrete it when the surface is made out of concrete or use plywood where the surface is made out of wood, so making surface smooth.

4. Then in the case where surface does not have any pads installer should place some foam 16A, FIG. 13 connecting each row of it with the tape 17A, FIG. 13 (it is necessary to leave a space between the rows from ⅛″ to ¼) and checking that the foam rows do not overlap.

5. Then we have to decide how to install parquet material. Usually, in order that the lines between planks in the joints would not be seen, parquet material must be installed parallel to the sun rays from the windows toward the doors 18A, FIG. 13.

6. Take two planks of the tongue and groove parquet material and assembling them together checking which side is more easily slide into the tongue 9A, FIG. 14. That side of the parquet material which slides into the tongue more difficult goes to the wall 8A, FIG. 14. On the other hand, the side which is slides easily into the tongue faces the direction opposite to the wall.

7. Then we place parquet material in one row along the wall from which we will start installing the parquet material 19A, FIG. 13 (that side of the parquet material which slides into the tongue more difficult goes to the wall). Parquet planks must be installed in such a way so that the side parts of the parquet are tightly attached one to the other without any gaps 10A, FIG. 14.

8. Installer must leave a gap of ¼, FIG. 13 in places where side parts of the parquet material joint 21A, FIG. 13 (from the wall side). In the gap between the wall and the parquet, which is about ¼ we must insert wooden or plastic spikes to fill the gap completely, providing immobility of the parquet material in instances of hitting it.

9. Placing the parquet material so that gaps between rows are not less then 1″, 22A, FIG. 13 and marking parquet material in said disposition. Then cutting of parquet material according to markings. One part of the parquet material goes to the beginning of the row where other goes to the end of the row.

10. Now we will use universal device for parquet installation for the frontal part 23A, FIG. 13. Attaching by hand previously cut segments of the parquet material which will be installed in the beginning of the row, which we installed according to 25 A, FIG. 13. Starting attaching from the biggest part 26A, FIG. 13 and finishing with the smallest 27A, FIG. 13. Spacer 24A, FIG. 13 must be installed between the wall and the installing parquet in advance. Thickness of the spacer should be minimum 3/16″ and maximum 5/16″. Wooden spacer may be 4 ft. in lengths or spikes could be used too. In case when tongue of the parquet material is difficult to insert into the groove use universal device for parquet installation for the frontal part 23A, FIG.13 according to the following: insert the tongue of the universal device for parquet installation for the frontal part into the groove of the frontal part of the installing parquet material under a slight angle. Check whether tongue of the universal device fully inserted into the groove of the parquet material 10A, FIG. 14. Then using two fingers of the same hand pressing universal device for frontal part toward the floor or the installing surface. Taking a hammer with the other hand 28A, FIG. 13, hitting the metal part of the device on the longest side of it with the hummer abruptly but not too strongly 11A, FIG. 13, whereby universal device get into the connection with the parquet material.

Note: In case when the parquet material wasn't fully inserted after the first or second hitting with the hummer, parquet material must be checked for any particles inadvertently or accidentally placed inside of the groove. Then said above procedure must be repeated again.

11. Now we will use universal device for parquet installation for the side part of the parquet material 30A, FIG. 13. We take a couple pieces of the parquet material and placing it on the floor the way that the tongue faces the installer. Then taking one plank/strip of the parquet material and inserting the groove and tongue of the different pieces of parquet material along its frontal side using small angle and a minimum force. We must leave a minimum gap in the connecting place of the side parts of the parquet material 29A, FIG. 13. Usually installation begins from left to right, but the other way is also appropriate.

In case when tongue of the parquet material is difficult to insert into the groove use universal device for parquet installation for the side part 30A, FIG.13 in the following order: insert the tongue 9A, FIG. 14 of the universal device for parquet installation for the side part into the groove of the side part of the installing parquet material under a slight angle. Check whether tongue of the universal device fully inserted into the groove of the parquet material 10A, FIG. 14. Then using two fingers of the same hand pressing universal device for side part toward the floor or the installing surface. Taking a hammer with the other hand hitting the metal part of the device on the longest side of it 13A, FIG. 9 with the hummer abruptly but not too strongly, whereby universal device get into the connection with the parquet material 10A, FIG. 14.

Then continue installation of the parquet material simultaneous toward different directions.

12. At the end of the raw it is necessary to mark and to cut off an extra parquet material. The gap between the wall and the installing parquet material must be ¼″. Then we are finishing installation using universal device for the side part of the parquet material.

Possibility of adjustment of the Wing Nut Coarse allows install parquet material of any thickness. Due to tight connection between claimed device and parquet material the later is protected from damage during hitting on the device.

Due to character of the device allowing its use for any type of tongue and groove material, such device might be also used during installation of the plywood-type material on the roof, floor, wall, or ceiling.
